About The Book
The 4th edition of Design of Structural Elements: Concrete, Steelwork, Masonry, and Timber Designs to Eurocodes by Chanakya Arya provides a concise, yet comprehensive introduction to the design of structural elements across various materials—concrete, steel, timber, masonry, and composites—all in line with the latest Eurocodes (current as of 2021). This single-volume guide presents design principles, material properties, and sustainable development concepts that are essential for modern structural engineering.

Key features of the book include:

• A philosophical overview of design processes and the importance of sustainability in construction.

• Basic structural concepts and material properties to guide the design of various structural elements.

• Worked examples and numerous diagrams that provide practical design techniques for reinforced concrete, structural steelwork, composite steel/concrete elements, masonry, and timber.

• Detailed design chapters covering reinforced concrete, composite floors, foundations, retaining walls, and various wall systems, among other structural elements.

• Self-contained chapters for each type of material, making it suitable for both beginners and advanced learners in civil and structural engineering fields.

This text is ideal for student civil and structural engineers pursuing their degree or diploma courses, as well as practicing civil engineers and professionals in the built environment. It provides up-to-date guidance on structural design practices, helping readers understand both the theoretical and practical aspects of the subject.
